Help with my queen ant

My queen ant I recently caught is staying on her water cotton.she is quite active constantly moving around on it and sometimes she sort of buries into her water cotton. She hasn't laid any visible eggs and I've had her for about 2 weeks is it stress or is she possibly laying her eggs it the cotton?I have seen 2 clear little spheres but I think is honey from when I gave her a drop. Do you have any ideas why she isn't laying eggs.I would appreciate the help.

possibly the stress. Keep her in the dark undisturbed for 1-2 weeks.
